So, there’s a whole bunch of MRA stuff I should be writing about now, and some Roosh drama, but, you know, my heart just isn’t in it at the moment. So I’m going to take a few more days off to clear my head. In the meantime, I would suggest keeping up with the latest MRA and PUA shenanigans by checking out the AgainstMensRights and TheBluePill subreddits, respectively.
Also, I thought you all might appreciate this video of a cat discovering snow for the first time.
And Happy New Year! Or did I already wish you guys that?
Happy New Year, David! Hope your time off is fun and productive.
Happy New Year, David! This is a good time to recharge and you deserve it.
Love the kitty! I needed that, I’ve got some need-to-recharge on this end, too. See you soon, I hope…and kick Roosh’s ass!
Happy New Year! We’ll keep the place warm and the fridge stocked.
Woo, Happy New Year! And speaking of snow, we got 18 inches, just in time for my move! My move-buddy’s flight got canceled, meaning he’s going to get here at night, rather than the afternoon, and it’s going to be exciting driving to Ohio in this weather.
Speaking of cats, my just-adopted kitty Sweet Pea is apparently Wil Wheaton’s cat’s twin.
I was going to apologize for spamming so much cat stuff recently and then I was like “Why would I apologize for that?”
Seriously, why WOULD you? First rule of kitties: never apologize for them!
I love Sweet Pea. I wished I could have adopted her, and I’m so glad she’s got a good home. Any other developments on the cat fostering front?
Well, Bobbie’s camera shy, apparently. Her TV spot got one response but it wasn’t a good match. We’ll see.
Happy New Year, David, and enjoy some well-earned
time attending to the needs and wants of your Furrinati overlordstime off!Fish videos!

And the fry —

The big ones are about 3 months old, and less than 1/2″, just RIGHT next to the camera. The little ones you can see best by watching the PVC tube, they’re reaching 1/8″ and getting some color, up close you can almost find fins even. They’re starting to look more like fish than tadpoles!
Fishies!
Unrelated, but I kind of want this sweater.
That sweater is kinda gorgeous. 🙂
Have a good break David, and have a happy 2014!
Happy New Year! It’s a good idea to take some time off. Watch some Bob Ross. Thats always relaxing.
That sweater is super creepy.
That’s pretty much the best sweater in existence. I need it.
Also, with advent of the whole controversy about the Occidental College report form, I’d like to share a personal story that’s related to the matter.
A few years ago, my sister and her boyfriend, who happens to be one of those “egalitarians,” lived in the same apartment as my brother and his girlfriend. My brother, who has nothing but contempt for my sister’s boyfriend (for good reasons, I’ll add) asked my sister’s boyfriend to move out of the house. Something happened (I forgot what it was) and suddenly they engaged in a full-fledged confrontation in which my brother and my sister’s boyfriend physically fought each other.
My sister’s boyfriend wanted to get my brother to stop fighting, so he threatened to call the cops and falsely accuse my brother of domestic violence against my sister (who had nothing to do with the incident). The rationale of my sister’s boyfriend was that my brother would be the one arrested since law enforcement is biased against men.
It’s funny how the only MRA I know in real life is just like the MRAs I’ve met online: sexist (he treats my sister like trash and called my brother a “mangina” once), willing to harass, and not above threatening people with false accusations.
@Argenti is creep shaming a perfectly innocent sweater who was just standing there looking!
No, that sweater is definitely ogling!
OMG YAY CeCe McDonald is going to be released soon!
I wish I could go to that party they’re holding for her.
Uh, yeah. Like the cops wouldn’t ask some pretty basic questions and find out that he was lying…
And yay for that sweater! I’d lose the argyle part and keep the kittehs.
Ally — that is awesome news!
@Ally Did they vacate the sentence or anything? I worry because life is not kind to ex-cons.
First time poster, long time reader! Hello all. 😀
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/no-right-answer/8643-Is-Anita-Sarkeesian-Wrong
I don’t want to give this vid a ton of hits, but I had to share this with someone. I’ve been watching (with disgust) lots of youtube videos responding to Anita, though usually they do not address her points. I was disappointed that the above vid from Escapist is a lame summary of all the whiny youtube videos. I have only seen a handful of videos tearing down these whiny whiners (“Where did all the money go?” “She’s just feeding the trolls” “ZOMG she’s using other youtube videos in her game footage!” etc).
Can anyone point me toward links analyzing Anita’s points, either for or against, but please please please, a source that actually addresses her points instead of straw manning or mansplaining? :{
